Default Rough idle

2003 cummins has a rough idle and loaps, sounds like and feels and sounds like a high power cam when in park and warm.. but in gear its perfect or if the air conitioning is on its fine turn a/c off bad loap.. i have 140000 miles had new lift pump, new injectors.and injector pump put in at 98000.when i had bad idle before..its back ..two factory places have ran checks they say everything is fine cant find problem..its costing alot of money to find this problem. it runs great and has plenty of power just rough idle in park
